I bought $650 worth last week. The cashier didn't know how to do it. I thought, oh gee, there probably is some exclusion. She called the GM, not floor manager because they were all off but he came to the register and said no were no exclusions. I bought 3 - $200 cards and one $50 card. There is a $5.95 per card fee.

I then went to www.giftcardmall.com/ and registered the card as having my home billing address (5 minutes)

I then did a upload of all the card to my upside visa prepaid card. www.upsideaccount.com and finally I atm'd the cash. The $650 turned into about $620 after all the associated fees. But I wanted cash to buy a couple new phones locally :-)

If it worked on bb gcs I would be tempted to get several and buy a tv, but alas I know that won't happen.

BB gift cards are specifically excluded in BB's website terms. Not on the coupon, but a search of the following website lists this. under the "Paying for you Order" paragraph.

My guess is that if this does get shot down by managers for any gift card purchases, that this is what they will be referencing, even though it specifies to "Best Buy gift cards," which i interpret as store-branded gift cards, and not gift cards of all sorts. Perhaps we should print this T&C to bring in out back pocket as backup? Or maybe stick the T&C in our pants' waist as "backup" hehe

Does anyone know that if you buy say 2 things that total $100 and you return 1 item. Will they refund you $50 or $25. Some stores calculate the percentage and take it off the item in case you return it. Other take it as a coupon after the total and it doesn't affect the price. One would know if you used a 10% off coupon. I know the rewards take a little bit off of everything so i would only assume they take a precentage off if returned.
